Chapter 3

I dropped myself right on the green grass that was quite dense.Enjoying the wind that blew my hair, while looking at the colorless sky.While humming, I slowly closed my eyes to enjoy God's grace today.I don't care about the tasks that have piled up.I will spend today just lying on the grass. Sometimes I think, what color is suitable to make something look more beautiful? Sometimes I think what color looks beautiful when I see it. I always think about those things when I close my eyes under the vastness of the sky.Even my mother and friends don't know what to answer if I ask them that.To me, happiness is being able to see all the colors in this life.I still hope to God, to give me at least one color, which I can be very happy when I see it.I will always pray that it will happen soon, and I will be the happiest human on this earth. "Hhh... "I let out a long sigh as I closed my eyes for a few seconds. It turned out that lying on the grass like that was quite tiring too. Because I became a lot of thinking and could not solve the answer to that thought. Beep beep!!! I gasped at the sound of a motorcycle horn from in front of the wooden gate of my house.Damn that kid always makes me startle and shake. "Hey buddy, I see you're really enjoying your Sunday!" He shouted as he opened the gate. I just rolled my eyes and lay back down.He wasn't important enough for me to respond to. "Hey bro! Are you going to keep doing the dead simulation?" asked Arga as he sat next to me. "If you want to eat, just go to the kitchen. I'm busy," I replied while still closing my eyes. Arga is indeed one of my friends who has no shame. Sometimes he eats, bathes, and even sleeps on my tin for no reason. Even so, Mom understands and actually really likes Arga's freedom in taking action. He has extraordinary freedom. I envy him who can do anything without hesitation. As for me, I even have to ask him when choosing clothes at the store. "San! It's Sunday after all! Aren't you going out to play?" Arga asked excitedly. I ignored him by turning my body back to him, "Sunday is the day you become a full human being. Because before you were just a robot busy doing world affairs." I said. "Hhh... "Arga let out a rough breath, "How can you have a lover if you continue like this? "He continued. "Is it important?" "Of course! Otherwise, people will think the same as me and Dean."He said. I'm too lazy to date. Because I think it will be a waste of time and energy. Besides, I'm still quite young. I'm not so worried about not having a woman. I'll get married when I'm very mature. So I'll just look for a lover when I get married. I think. "What about you? You can't even be faithful to one woman," I continued as I got up from the grass. "What? I'm faithful you know! If I leave that woman, it's a sign that we're not compatible!" Arga defended. "Unsuitable or unwilling?" I said as I walked towards the house. "Hey buddy, come on! I can't stand to see you alone!" "What? "I turned around. "I can't see you keep mumbling that life is not beautiful without color." He continued with both eyebrows lowered. As long as I've been alive, all the people around me have always tried their best for me. They've always been aware of my words, my despair, and they've even been there when I've been down. They know that giving me motivation won't make my eyes see all the colors. So, they do everything they can to keep me upbeat and happy. "I do give up all the time, but as long as Mom and you guys are around, I'll be fine. You don't have to worry if I still don't have a girlfriend, I'm not gay," I said as I walked into the house. "Come on San! This isn't about being gay!" *** (Arga plays the guitar in a chaotic tone) "If you can't play the guitar, can you just throw away the guitar? Or don't just throw away your desire to be able to play the guitar," I said while playing the cell phone on the bed. He didn't listen and was determined to learn the guitar. "Why do you want to be able to play the guitar so badly? I swear my ears have been suffering all day because of your chaotic playing," I asked frowning. Arga put away his guitar, "There's a girl I'm eyeing in college. When I saw her social media, she really likes guys who play guitar." He said. "Yeah? So?" "Of course I'm learning the guitar so she'll fall in love with me! Also, if a guy can play the guitar, he'll find it easy to get girls." He answered confidently. I just smiled dismissively. That's just nonsense that clearly has no evidence or facts behind it. If it's true, why do I still not have a lover? I've been good at playing the guitar since I was a kid. Ddrrrttt... I picked up the vibrating phone from my mom, "Hello? Mom? What's wrong?" I asked. In the conversation that took place on the phone, Mom asked me to buy some cakes and sponge cakes at the store that she had sent me the location of, because there would be many of Mom's friends who would come to visit the house. I immediately agreed to Mom's request, and hung up the phone. "If your friends come to visit, then this is no different from the reunion. I'll just hide in my room.But..." looking at Arga, "I think he will be very happy to see your friends. Because surely they will bring their daughters to visit here." I muttered to myself. "Why? Why are you looking at me like that?" asked Arga with a mouth. Shaking his head, "I'm going to the cake shop, do you want to come?" I asked. "Of course. If I stay here, the cake on this table will run out." He said as he got up and preceded me to leave the house. That's how my friend is. If you're shameless, you're not my friend. *** We rode our respective motorcycles to the shop.The distance is quite far from my house, so it only took about 25 minutes.No speeding or rushing.Since Mom said the cake and sponge cake had already been ordered, I just picked it up without waiting long.But it seemed like Arga had arrived first.1 minute was enough for him to go to his destination. After riding for a long time, my motorcycle finally arrived at the courtyard of the cake shop. Arga was sitting at one of the shop's tables. He seemed to be looking for attention from one of the shop's employees. I wouldn't recognize him as my friend if he would be embarrassed. Tringgg... The bell rang when I opened the door. "Looks like you've found your target, Arga." I whispered as I walked towards the cashier. "Good if you know," He continued with a face that was quite annoying in my opinion. I walked towards the cashier while showing the order name, price, cake and sponge that Mom wrote on a cell phone note. "Hy, Mrs. Santika ordered all that. Have you prepared it?" I asked gently. The clerk nodded as she walked away from me.She took several large orders.Is there going to be a three-day and three-night party? Why are there so many cakes and sponges? It seems that my mother will give some of the cakes and sponges to the neighbors too. "Sir, there is one cake that is out of stock and is being made. Will you wait?" asked one of the employees. "Yes, I will wait. If I may know how long-" Before I could finish my sentence, I paused for a moment as I looked into her eyes. "Sir? "The girl tilted her head slightly. My eyes rounded when I saw her face. She was a different employee than before. She was so beautiful and lovely. I was speechless when our eyes met. For the first time, I admired one of God's most beautiful creations. "Sir?" "Ah yes! It's alright! I'll wait." I replied immediately after my reverie was broken. The girl smiled and left me. It was like a dream to meet a flower transformed into a beautiful woman.I couldn't stop staring at her from a distance.I was very curious, what color clothes she was wearing, what color her eyes were, and what color her hair was.I can't describe more to you.The point is, her long hair and dimples are very beautiful.I just smiled slightly as I sat on the chair in front of Arga. I couldn't take my eyes off her.She was too beautiful for me not to see. "Beautiful." I muttered under my breath. Arga who heard the rare sentence from my mouth,he rounded his eyes and looked at me. "Who?!" Arga asked. I smiled and looked into Arga's eyes. I gave an eye signal, that the girl had mesmerized me. Immediately Arga looked at the girl with the sweet dimples. "Is she one of the angels who came down to earth? Why didn't I realize there was such a beautiful girl here?" Arga murmured in awe.
